In the Middle Ages the area experienced peri- ods of Byzantine, Croatian, Serbian and Hungarian authority, as well as periods of independence under native Bosnian princes. In the 15th century Bosnia was incorporated in the Ottoman Empire, and it remained under Turkish rule until 1878, when it was placed under Austro-Hungarian control. During the Turkish period much of Bosnia’s population converted to Islam, contributing to the country’s complex profile in the modern era: by the 19th century the popu- lation was divided among three main ethnic or religious groups, Orthodox Serbs, Catholic Croats and Muslims, who were increasingly forced to assert their own identity in the face of competition for their allegiance from their Serb and Croat neighbours. Serbian aspirations to Bosnian territory, and resent- ment at Vienna’s annexation of the province in 1908, provided the spark for the First World War, when a young Bosnian Serb nationalist assassinated the Austrian archduke, Franz Ferdinand, in 1914, leading to an Austrian attack on Serbia. The war ended with the collapse of Austria-Hungary and the formation of a united Yugoslav state (called the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes until 1929), including Bosnia. Bosnia in Yugoslavia In the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Muslim political leaders managed, by reaching an accommodation with the dominant Serbian rulers, to achieve some limited influence but the state was racked by ethnic divisions, especially between Serbs and Croats. From 1929 Bosnia was divided among administrative units in neighbouring Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro. Following the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia in 1941, BiH was incorporated in a German-puppet Independent State of Croatia (NDH), under the Croatian fascist Ustasha movement. The war magnified inter-ethnic tensions in BiH to a level not hitherto seen, in an upsurge of slaughter which was contained only by the takeover of the pan- Yugoslav, Communist-dominated partisan movement in 1945. BiH became one of the six constituent republics in Communist Yugoslavia, and, in 1968, its Muslims were recognised as one of the country’s six constituent nations. The demise of Yugoslavia The victories of nationalist parties in the first free elections in Yugoslavia in and descent into war 1990 set the country on the path to dissolution, with particularly damaging consequences for multi-ethnic BiH. Following the EU’s recognition of the inde- pendence of Slovenia and Croatia in January 1992, two-thirds of BiH’s popu- lation—mainly Croats and Muslims, as Serbs mostly boycotted the poll—voted for Bosnian independence in a referendum ending on March 1, 1992. Inde- pendence was declared on April 6, 1992, and was swiftly recognised by the EU and other states. Most of BiH’s Serb population rejected the move, and, having already carved out a number of Serb-controlled regions, with armaments left by the former Yugoslav army (JNA) unleashed a war which was to rage for three and a half years. The war eventually pitted each constituent nation against the other two EIU Country Profile 1997-98 © The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 1997 Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH): Historical background 5 and led to the forced uprooting (“ethnic cleansing”) of hundreds of thousands of people, widespread atrocities and slaughter. Croats in Hercegovina in July 1992 proclaimed their own para-state of Herceg-Bosna, following which fight- ing erupted between Croats and Muslims. This lasted until early 1994, when the USA brokered a peace deal, setting up a Muslim-Croat Federation of BiH on the

This research was supported by Title VIII funds from the U.S. Department of State through a grant administered by the University of Delaware. This paper was prepared for presentation at the University of Delaware Title VIII Research Conference, Sofia, Bulgaria, July 1-2, 2010. 1. Introduction The primary goal of this project is to offer a reliable measurement of medium-term changes of wage inequality and wage differentials in Croatia from 1970 (when the first data was collected) to 2008 (the most recent data available at the time of writing). This period covers, of course, a tumultuous time for Croatia and the Croatian economy: the fall of socialism, hyperinflation, and the Homeland war. We focus on the two most often used inequality measures, the Gini coefficient and the Theil index, using data on wage differences by level of education and vocational training and also by income intervals. We also examine differences over time in inequality for key industrial sectors that were arguable affected quite differently by the many shocks that the Croatian economy experienced over this time period.

  • Ivo Bic:Anic
    TIlE ECONOMICS OF STATE-BunnING IN TIlE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA Ivo BiC:anic This working paper examines the economic aspect of state-building in the former Yugoslavia. Its main hypothesis is that during the process of division and in the first four years of economic independence each of the five successor states chose economic policy options which are leading to divergent patterns of economic growth. As a result, after four years, five distinct economies have emerged, each pursuing increasingly diverging growth paths. This divergence is even more striking when we remember that each of the successor states began with the same institutional framework, a common transition path, and a comparable level of macroeconomic instability. We first consider the role of economic issues in Yugoslavia's decomposition. Two phases of the process are relevant. First, the build-up to disintegration reveals how over time the underpinnings of the Yugoslav economy slowly melted away. Second, the rising popularity of go-it-alone policies then advanced the segmentation of the Yugoslav economy. We then turn to the paper's central theme, the economics of state-building in the five successor states. Three aspects of the process are highlighted: the way new national economies were set up, the transition paths chosen in each, and the way each tackled the extensive macroeconomic disequilibrium that they inherited or that developed along the transition path chosen. The Build-up to &onomic Disintegration • The build-up to Yugoslavia's disintegration developed over a long period without a clear beginning. During this period, the Yugoslav economy functioned as a unified economic space.

  • Croatian Kuna: Money, Or Just a Currency? Evidence from the Interbank Market
    Davor Mance, Bojana Olgic Drazenovic, and Stella Suljic Nikolaj. 2019. Croatian Kuna: Money, or just a Currency? Evidence from the Interbank Market. UTMS Journal of Economics 10 (2): 149–161. Original scientific paper (accepted November 6, 2019) CROATIAN KUNA: MONEY, OR JUST A CURRENCY? EVIDENCE FROM THE INTERBANK 1 MARKET Davor Mance2 Bojana Olgic Drazenovic Stella Suljic Nikolaj Abstract Modern sovereign money is accepted as an institution in virtue of the collective intentionality of the acceptance of the sovereign status function declaration it being the official currency of a country. A status function declaration may not create money it may only create a currency. How does one test the fact that an official currency also has all the properties of money? We propose a rather simple test based on the Granger causality of the acceptance of a currency in virtue of money if, and only if, the allocation function of its market interest rate is not rejected. This condition is fulfilled if the interest rate is its genuine allocator. This is the case if the changes in quantity cause the change in the interest rate as a price of money i.e. its true opportunity cost. We find that market interest rate changes are Granger caused by changes in quantities of traded euros on the overnight banking market but not by changes in the quantity of traded Croatian kuna. Thus, the Croatian kuna is only the domestic currency of Croatia, and the euro is its true money. Keywords: money functions, euroization, ZIBOR, Granger causality. Jel Classification: E31; E43; E47; E52; G17 INTRODUCTION The fact that we call something “money” is observer relative: it only exists relative to its users and relative to the users’ perspective considering something a money.

  • The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame
    WILL s A system reset seems imminent. The world’s finan- cial system will need to find a new anchor before the year 2020. Since the beginning of the credit s crisis, the US realized the dollar will lose its role em as the world’s reserve currency, and has been planning for a monetary reset. According to Willem Middelkoop, this reset MIDD Willem will be designed to keep the US in the driver’s seat, allowing the new monetary system to include significant roles for other currencies such as the euro and China’s renminbi. s Middelkoop PREPARE FOR THE COMING RESET E In all likelihood gold will be re-introduced as one of the pillars LKOOP of this next phase in the global financial system. The predic- s tion is that gold could be revalued at $ 7,000 per troy ounce. By looking past the American ‘smokescreen’ surrounding gold TWarh on Golde and the dollar long ago, China and Russia have been accumu- lating massive amounts of gold reserves, positioning them- THE selves for a more prominent role in the future to come. The and the reset will come as a shock to many. The Big Reset will help everyone who wants to be fully prepared. Financial illem Middelkoop (1962) is founder of the Commodity BIG Endgame Discovery Fund and a bestsell- s ing author, who has been writing about the world’s financial system since the early 2000s. Between 2001 W RESET and 2008 he was a market commentator for RTL Television in the Netherlands and also BIG appeared on CNBC.
